Sami

Ok, so as many of you know , Sami is now 2 1/2 - over a week-and-a- half(s) time that I did not see her a while back , she definitely became the definition of a two year old - here are some excerpts from converdsations that we have had while I was watching/ playing with her:

Me: What did I say I was doing?Sami: pluggin in the chairMe: and why am I plugging in the chair?Sami: because it needs batries (her pronuciation)Me: that's rightSami: oh... ... Watcha doing?

* be proud - I didn't scream :)-----------------------------------------------------Sami: watcha do-in?Me: helping Mike get ready for bedSami: why?Me: because he's tiredSami: Why?Me: because he worked hard todaySami: why?Me: because it's his jobSami: why?Me: so he can make moneySami: why?Me: (ignoring her)

Sami: watcha do-in?Me: helping Mike get ready for bedSami: why?Me: (trying a different approach) because it's my jobSami: why?Me: so I can make moneySami: why?Me: so I can pay my billsSami: why?Me: because they need to be paidSami: why?Me:( ignoring her again)

Sami: watcha do-in?Me: getting the wash rag wetSami: why?Me: so I can help Mike wash upSami: why ?Me: So he can go to bedSami why?Me: because he's tired

Sami: watcha do-in?Me: putting soap on the wash ragSami: why?Me: so I can help mike get ready for bedSami:why?Me: because it's my jobSami: whyMe: (pausing) ... (thinking) ... so I have money to buy you toysSami: ok! (walks away and starting playing in/with the toybox) ;P

I wish I could paint a picture with less than a thousand words.... Sami's daddy was ready to swift kick my poor Gobbler. Sami was here, than not. Looking around, Gobbler was standing next to Sami, eye to eye. He was in his protecting his Gobblett's stance moving close to Sami and she an inch to the side etc. Her innocence saved her as he did not detect fear nor did she run. Daddy could no longer stand his baby at risk and let Gobbler know this was his girl. You needed to be there I guess. Sami still does not know what was up. To be sweet and young again.

About Me

I like books, music, flowers – calla lilies are my favorite… I like the scent of vanilla, the colors purple and green… I like rain, lying on my back on the green grass watching the clouds float by… I like sitting around a campfire at night looking at the stars while a guitar plays softly in the background, the sound of a gentle wind whispering through the leaves… I like dancing crazy just for the fun of it, singing along with the radio… I like the warmth of a hug, the feel of waves lapping at my feet… I like the sound and feel of laughter, the smiles of children… I like the feel of the wind in my hair as I gallop my horse, the comfort of my dog lying on my feet… I like the feel of piano keys moving beneath my hands, escaping from the demands of a day if but for a moment… I like driving fast, having coffee with friends… I like knowing that I have friends, family, who love me, A God who will never leave my side…

Quotes

...sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand and what you've been up there searching for forever is in your hands when you figure out love is all that matters after all it sure makes everything else seem so small...
